Kybella: Double Chin Fat Removal Treatment | Kybella Injections

KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.

HOW DOES KYBELLA® WORK ?

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA®destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

How many Kybella treatments do I need?

Since everyone’s profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Our healthcare specialist will determine how many sessions you will need based on the amount and distribution of your supplemental fat and your personal goals. Kybella treatment sessions are given about 1 month apart.

How is Kybella given?

Kybella is injected under the skin directly into the area beneath your chin. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

You may be treated with a topical numbing medicine or an ice pack to ease pain and make you comfortable during the injections.

Kybella injection must be given in a series of up to 6 treatment sessions in order to be effective. You may receive up to 50 injections at each session.

Each treatment session should be spaced no less than 1 month apart. Many people have had visible results after 2 to 4 sessions.

Your doctor will determine the right number of injections and how many sessions you need, depending on the results you want.
